How to Listen to Your Children So It Makes a Difference
I was recently reminded of one of the most profoundly powerful parenting tools available to us: compassionate listening. Deep, compassionate listening is what allows your children to communicate their feelings, talk about their pain, and explore ideas. What would it be like to know you are the person who helps them do this?
Join me this week to learn why practicing compassionate listening leads to deep connection with your children. As a bonus, this also works with your spouse, co-parent, coworker, or friends, and the best part is it’s surprisingly easy to begin implementing into your everyday life.

When You and Your Kids Don’t Agree: How to Stay Connected & Honor Their Autonomy
As parents, we’re attached to the expectation that our kids will have the same convictions and beliefs that we have. But as they grow up, they might choose a lifestyle, religion, or ideology that differs from the one we've modeled for them. Many of us struggle to hold space for this possibility, and it can leave us dysregulated or tempted to withdraw.
Join me this week as I show you how to navigate differences in beliefs and values between you and your children. You’ll learn the power of agreeing to disagree and how to foster deep connection with your kids, even when your opinions deviate.

From Power Struggle to Peaceful Parenting: A Follow-Up Conversation with Valeria
A few weeks ago on the podcast, I shared an amazing coaching conversation with my client Valeria, where we talked about navigating fear and anger in parenting, setting limits, and connecting before correcting. Since that conversation, Valeria has told me she's experienced a massive transformation in her parenting, so I wanted to have her back to discuss it.
This week, Valeria is sharing the game-changing skills she’s learned that have changed her household dynamic from power struggle to peace and calm. You’ll hear how modeling emotional regulation is a long-term investment in connecting with your kids, why our children need rules delivered with discipline, not punishment, and how powerful it can be to intentionally practice tolerating uncomfortable emotions.

The First Step in Real World Peaceful Parenting
Like so many parents, you might believe being reactionary in response to a power struggle or disagreement is hardwired into you. Maybe it's how you’ve always operated, or it was modeled in your home growing up. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if, even in the midst of a storm, you could learn to pause and respond thoughtfully rather than react out of dysregulation?
Join me and a panel of Hive members – Kate, Tina, and Neil – as we explore the art of pausing and responding. You’ll learn how the skill of pausing and responding creates a deep connection with your kids, and what it really looks like behind the scenes to learn and practice it.
